A spot for me to blog on life in my garden, where I grow things, read things, drink tea and ponder. An important principle for me is living a simple life - to live simply so that others may simply live

Dance, Dance, Dance

It's been quite a while since I've been here, but I have a few things to post soon. Most excitingly, we've booked our spot on a trip to the Tour de France 2011. We're going to be riding our bikes with the last 14 days of the Tour- yep, that's the mountain stages!!! I've started my training, which is taking me away from by usual blogging hours. [Click the picture to see more about the TdF.]

I've also recently finished Murakami's Dance, Dance, Dance. As is usual with a Murakami novel, it's still sinking in - but I'm close to thinking this is one of my favourites of all. This is also, I think, my fourth book for the Japanese Literature Challenge 4. Only two months to go and I haven't really got my next one lined up - any recommendations??

In the Garden - I'm loving the feel of a real summer... I've been spending what time I can in the garden. With Daylight Savings, it's light well up to 730pm now and that means heaps of time to get out there after work. I've been planting, pruning and protecting from the bugs.
